Agency seeks interns via GIF challenge

Attention students in search of an internship: Got a GIF?
If you do, you could land an internship with Minneapolis agency Olson. Its “Gif Me an Internship” is the latest version of their search for an “O-tern.”

It’s pretty simple. The Olsonoterns.com site lays out the application details:

Your challenge is to create an original GIF and tell us why it should earn you a place on our 2014 O-tern team. You’ll also be answering four questions (each with fewer than 140 characters) so we can learn a little more about you.

The four questions are:

• “Describe your dream project.“
• “What makes you nervous?”
• “What is your tagline?”
• “Our founder John Olson always said, ‘Never throw a small party.’ If we came to your place, what kind of party would you throw?”

This isn’t Olson’s first time getting creative with its call for interns. In 2011, for example, the company asked for candidates to apply by phone, but without actually calling. They had to create a video or some other media with their phones.
